If you are ever in a serious collision or get hurt because of another person’s actions, then you should know that you may have the right to file a personal injury claim. A personal injury claim provides an opportunity to seek several kinds of compensation for what you and your family have been put through.

A judge and jury may come up with an award amount for you if you go to court, or you can attempt to settle with the other party’s insurance carrier. There are a few kinds of compensation that you may want to seek.

What kinds of compensation can you seek when you live in Florida?

Victims who file a personal injury claim may be able to seek:

Compensation for medical expenses
Compensation for their lost income
Coverage for physical or occupational therapy
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Property repair expenses
Household expenses

The kind of compensation you seek will depend on the specifics of your case. For example, if you have significant medical bills, need ongoing therapy and have mental anguish, you’d want to claim for all of those. Many people don’t realize how many types of compensation there are or that they can claim for more than just their expenses.

After a personal injury, you have the right to pursue as much compensation as you can to make yourself whole. That may mean covering the losses from your job if you can no longer work, replacing your spouse’s income if they now stay at home to take care of you, getting compensated for the mental stress of a serious injury or even covering the household expenses that come with living with a new disability or severe injury.

What Our Clients Say

PERSONAL INJURY CLIENT

Sharon Elliott

When I first called their office I was able to speak to a paralegal and an attorney right away. They answered all of my questions. Throughout the process of my case the attorneys were in constant contact with me. I knew every step of the process. The staff and attorneys were very easy to talk to. I was extremely pleased with the outcome. My medical bills were high. They managed to get my doctors to write off a lot of the bills which saved me money. PHL is a great law firm. I highly recommend them to anyone. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

REAL ESTATE CLIENT

Amber Joye Rosen, Au.D.

I called numerous attorneys, Michael Labbee was not only the only attorney to call me back at all but called me the same day during his personal time. In the consult, he confirmed my rights as a party to this contract, went over all the ramifications the seller would incur by breaking our contract, and went over cost of litigation if that’s the route I needed to take. I felt more empowered at my options. He was not only knowledgeable and to the point, but kind (yet clearly willing to go to bat to people in their place for my rights!).

PERSONAL INJURY CLIENT

Joey Gill

After my accident I contacted Tyler Hayden to get his advice on legal help and he said don’t worry, we can take care of this and that’s exactly what that firm did. From day one I felt comfortable talking to the lawyers and knew they had my best interest. I would 100% recommend Phillips, Hayden, & Labbee to handle your personal injury case. I’m glad I did.
